invite you to an...

ALL-CHURCH PICNIC

August 27 – 11:00AM

Wear your picnic clothes to church.

Bring a dish (or two) to share.

Stay after the worship service for some food,

fellowship, and fun! And most importantly, INVITE A FRIEND!

ADULTS & YOUTH

Come prepared with your game faces and team spirit!

Kids!!! It's time to get busy in the kitchen!

As part of the All-Church Sunday School Picnic on

August 27, we will again have a Kids Baking Contest!

Make sure what you are making falls into one of the following

categories:

Cupcakes, Brownies, Cookies,

Fruit Dessert, No Bake Treats

The only rule is you have to team up with an adult to

participate. Bring your goodies down to the Fellowship Hall before

church on the 27TH, and we will have papers for you to fill out so we

know what you made and who you made it with, as well as which

category you are competing in. There will be a prize for each

category. Good Luck!!!
